Abstract
The two title oxides are new isotypic silicates, crystallizing in the non-centrosymmetric space group P3. The crystal structures were analysed with two twin components in each case.
Single crystal particles of Na2BaZr[SiO4]2 [systematic name: disodium barium zirconium bis(orthosilicate)] and Na2BaHf[SiO4]2 [disodium barium hafnium bis(orthosilicate)] were extracted from grain-grown polycrystals obtained by heating compacts of binary oxide mixtures at 1473 K. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that these are isostructural orthosilicates with a glaserite-type crystal structure, in which all sites of X, Y, M, and T in the general formula XY2[M(TO4)2] are fully occupied by atoms of different elements. The crystal structures of the title compounds were refined in space group P3 under consideration of a two-component twin model. The SiO4 tetrahedra are rotated approximately ±10.2° from the mirror plane of space group P3m around an axis parallel to [001].
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
